Chapter 820: Dingzhongyuan
The situation on the battlefield was reversed like the wind because of the arrival of Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others, and the Jinling naval army went straight down the river from the upper reaches and entered the middle of the river, so that the balance of victory was tilted towards its own side in an instant.
Under the command of a group of naval generals of the Jinling Army, the officers and men of the three armies finally opened up their firepower and dealt a devastating blow to Cao's army.
Due to the breakthrough of the naval army, the position of the Cao army along the coast finally collapsed, and the Jinling army on the pontoon bridge also corresponded at the same time and moved forward in a big way.
Finally, I saw that the Jinling Army began to climb the opposite side of Henan in batches!
Cheng Yu and others were taking care of Cao Cao in the tent, Cao Cao had a headache for a day at this time, and his condition finally improved, he opened his eyes, looked at Cheng Yu and others on the side, and breathed a weak sigh.
But soon, he heard shouts of killing outside the tent.
Cao Cao wanted to support his body, but his head was still buzzing, and he couldn't recover in a short time, and he had sweated for a day, without the slightest physical strength, and his whole body was like prostration, where could he support it.
Cao Cao sighed helplessly, looked at Cheng Yu bitterly and said, "What's the situation outside?" ”
So far, how dare Cheng Yu conceal Cao Cao, he hurriedly said: "Back to Sikong, the army of pottery merchants said that Sikong was unwell and could not be a director, and he used troops on a large scale to storm our army camp, and now the two sides are in a stalemate stage. ”
After all, Cao Cao is a person who understands the pottery merchants, and he himself is also the hero of the world, listening to Cheng Yu's words, his heart can't help but feel cold.
Just after a little thought, Cao Cao dared to conclude that something would happen to Chen Liu's side.
With the character of a potter, he will not let Cao Ren go while attacking his own side in a big way, which is his consistent method of using troops.
"Help me up!" Cao Cao gasped and said to Cheng Yu: "I want to go out of the camp to preside over the war, if it is not Cao Mou who is in the battle, others will not be able to break the fight, but the Tao family boy." ”
Cheng Yu was taken aback when he saw this.
He hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "Sikong, you are weak, you must not be in battle, there will be an accident, now there is Xiahou Yuan in front of them to meet the enemy, it should be fine!" It is the best policy to take care of your body and plan for the future. ”
"What's the plan?" Cao Cao supported himself, lifted the quilt on his body, and said anxiously: "How can you fight the potter with the ability of the wonderful talent?" If it is postponed any longer, Zixiao's side will inevitably be in danger. ”
"Huh?" Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment: "What does Sikong mean, the potters will still divide their troops to fight Chen Liu?" ”
"Chen Liu, he will definitely fight!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "Zixiao is an important town of the three armies, and it is also the courage of the Central Plains Army, and Chen Liu is also the stepping point for us to recapture the Central Plains. ”
Speaking of this, he saw Cao Cao angrily say: "Don't hurry up and dress me and put on armor!" ”
Cheng Yu usually relies on the old and sells the old in front of Cao Cao, but he can let himself go, but once Cao Cao is really angry, he doesn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly beckons the attendants and dresses Cao Cao and wears armor.
But Cao Cao is indeed unwell at the moment, the head wind still has not completely receded, he is in a daze, seeing things are double shadows, and he walks straight and swaying.
After Cao Cao put on his armor, he staggered towards the outside of the tent, but before he could get out of the tent, his body was crooked, and he fell to the side.
Cheng Yu was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ran up to help him, but was crushed by Cao Cao and smashed directly to the ground.
Xun You was startled beside him, and secretly said that with this physical condition, what else can he do, isn't this looking for his own death?
Xun You ran to Cao Cao's side and helped him sit up hard, so that Cheng Yu could be freed.
"Sikong, are you alright? Don't force it! ”
Cao Cao rubbed his head and smiled bitterly.
He turned his head to look at Xun Yu and said in a trembling voice: "Gongda, if Wen Ruo is still here, will Cao Mou not fall to the point where he is today?" ”
After saying this, he only said that Xun You's heart was pierced by a knife, and his grief was inexplicable.
"Sikong, it's the Xun family who can't stand you." Xun You replied in a low voice, and unconsciously tears were in his eyes.
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted.
Cao Zhang ran in in a panic.
Seeing Cao Cao wearing armor, Cao Zhang was stunned at first, and then suddenly said with joy: "Father, hello!" ”
Cao Cao saw that Cao Zhang also went to the battlefield, and he was also a little dazed.
After all, this kid is still young.
But at this moment, he can't be allowed to think about these things, the key is to find out the situation on the battlefield first.
"Zhang'er, how is the situation on the battlefield?" Cao Cao held his head and supported himself.
Cao Zhang anxiously chopped his feet and said: "The pottery merchant army pontoon bridge, bamboo ladder, and water army forcibly crossed the river, and our army couldn't stop it, and now many Jinling soldiers have landed on the shore and are attacking our camp, I'm afraid it's hard to resist, Uncle Miaocai asked me to come back and protect my father to evacuate first." ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head painfully and said, "I won't withdraw!" If Cao is withdrawn, the Central Plains will no longer be owned by me, where do you let Cao go? ”
Cao Zhang hurriedly said: "The land of Guanzhong is still in the hands of my father, the fertile fields of the Guanzhong Plain are thousands of miles, coupled with the support of the princes of Guanzhong, we may not be able to find revenge from the pottery merchants, even if it is extremely difficult to take revenge, as long as we keep the Hangu Pass, Bishui Pass and other passes, to prevent the pottery merchants from advancing westward, even if the pottery merchants have many soldiers, but we can't help it......"
"Nonsense!" Cao Cao angrily interrupted Cao Zhang: "What kind of character is Cao, how can he be persecuted by the Tao family boy and be in a safe corner? ”
"Report!"
At this moment, a panicked voice came from outside the tent.
But it was Fan Chou, the general of Xiliang who had surrendered to Cao Cao, who arrived in a hurry and said to Cao Cao: "Sikong, something is wrong!" Chen Liu's side had a defeated soldier to report, and Chen Liucheng was captured by the potters because of the dedication of the Bao Tao brothers! ”
Cao Cao's head suddenly became extremely painful again, and he was almost about to explode.
His worst fears finally happened.
Cao Cao squinted at Fan Chou, and said tremblingly, "What about Zixiao?" ”
"General Cao Ren fell for the plan of the pottery thief, and was forced to commit suicide in front of Tai Shici, and the accompanying soldiers did not survive!"
"Ah~~!" Cao Cao spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted directly.
"Sikong!"
"Father!"
"Quick, pack up the carriages and horses, protect Sikong! Evacuate first! ”
Cao Cao's was taken away by his subordinates first, and the news of Cao Ren's death spread among Cao's army.
Cao Rennai is the first general of the Cao clan, which can be described as the courage of the three armies, and his position in the Cao army is like Xu Chu and Zhao Yun of the Jinling army, his death has a great impact on the morale of the Cao army, plus the Jinling army attacked the shore, and the defensive advantage of the Cao army is gone.
In this battle, Cao Cao was completely defeated, and his army was defeated.
He didn't lose in strategy, he didn't lose in ability, he lost in illness.
The poor generation of heroes cannot escape the devastation of disease.
Cao Cao's defeat basically established the ownership of the Central Plains.
From now on, the vast land of the Yellow River Basin, the birthplace of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, will gradually belong to Xuzhou Tao.
